Chromosomal abnormality characterized by the absence of one chromosome from the normally occurring pair of chromosomes. One example is Turner's syndrome. See Turner's syndrome.
term which indicates the loss of a whole chromosome.
The presence in the nucleus of one copy of a chromosome instead of the usual two
Where one chromosome is represented once only instead of twice; for example, girls with Turner syndrome have only one X chromosome instead of the usual two copies (Monosomy X).
Term that indicates the loss of one chromosome of a pair. Monosomy 7, for example, indicates that the blood cells of the patient have lost one of two number 7 chromosomes. This abnormality occurs in myelomonocytic leukemia.
chromosomal abnormality consisting of the absence of one chromosome from the normal diploid number
The presence of only one chromosome from a pair in an individual. Except with sex chromosomes (e.g. Turner syndrome), monosomies usually have severe effects – either miscarriage of affected pregnancy or severe handicap, if the child is liveborn.
The presence of only one chromosome from a pair; partial monosomy refers to the presence of only one copy of a segment of a chromosome
The presence of only one chromosome of a pair.
One chromosome of a pair is missing. In humans, this would result in a total of 45 chromosomes. An example of monosomy is 45, X, also known as Turner syndrome.
A condition where only one copy of a specific chromosome is present.
A single copy of a chromosome rather than a pair (disomy).
having only one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the usual 2 copies.
Possessing only one copy of a particular chromosome instead of the normal two copies.
having a single copy of a chromosome, rather than the usual pair.
A chromosome having no homologue, especially an unpaired X-chromosome. A single ribosome.
